Teaching

A university encourages students to appreciate profound ideas from different cultures and disciplines and to use them in new, creative and interesting ways. As a professor I encourage every student I teach to embrace this appreciation and innovation. An overview of my teaching experience, awards, evaluations and student / colleague testimonials is available here. This document provides a description of my teaching philosophy.
